​The 2015-2016 Golden Orchid International Art Festival Photography Exhibition was held at Arashi Studio at 1:30pm Nov 20 in Brooklyn New York.We have received more than 3000 photos from over 70 countries and areas. Our judging committee decided to have separate "single image" and "series images" receivers for each award. That is definitely good news for our entrants!​The awarded works were publicly projected for the contest. We have received great response from the audience!

We invited the amazing musician Uljmuren De, a member of Tengger Cavalry band. Tengger Cavalry is a folk metal band based in New York City. They combine elements of the traditional music of Mongolia with heavy metal into a kind of folk metal that is refered to as nomadic folk metal.
